Hi guys,

	So:

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/07/01/mac_os_x_10_point_7_preview/page2.html

	Java has been dropped, too, but there is slightly more hope for
	Java users: the first time you try to run a Java app, the OS
	will offer to download and install one for you. This is helpful
	but not ideal – so, for instance, to offer an entirely
	hypothetical scenario, if you had just installed LibreOffice and
	written a few hundred words of copy, you wouldn't be able to
	save your work if no JVM had been installed when the program was
	launched. Apparently the file-saving functionality is one of the
	Java bits and LibreOffice needs a restart for saving to work.
	Who knew?

	Looks bad; it seems we screwed over Liam; hopefully he could copy/paste
out of it, but ...

	Is this really so ? it'd be great to isolate and kill whatever Java is
required to save anything on Mac ?

	Thoughts ?

		Michael.
